I tried putting that in there, and still nothing. I have even done a full re-install as the box product came today (I was using the cd's I downloaded thinking there was something perhaps wrong with them) when completed, I ran apt-get update and I still get network time out issues.
I am stumped! |

Are you able to use internet at all (e.g. browsing with Firefox, reading e-mail etc.) ?
If you are behind a proxy, there are two methods to use to configure APT to work:
The first method requires edit of /etc/apt/apt.conf (as previously suggested) and add of
| Code: |
Acquire::http::Proxy "uri";
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "uri";
|
where uri is on the form http://[[user][:pass]@]host[:port] or ftp://[[user][:pass]@]host[:port] depending on how your proxy is setup.
The other method requires edit of /etc/profile and add of
| Code: |
export http_proxy=uri
export ftp_proxy=uri
|
at end of the file. The uri in /etc/profile has same form as in /etc/apt/apt.conf.
The latter method is more generic in that it works with lot of application such as ftp, lynx etc.
I have used both methods at work where I am behind a proxy and both works equally well.
Other than that you have to check out your firewall setting or how your proxy server is configured a second time (contact your admin or ISP if required). You may also try to disable the firewall for instance if possible. |

Al of this troubleshoting of the firewall is great, but we still haven't determined the firewall IS the issue yet... 
Why not just disable the firewall to see if it works, then troubleshoot the firewall if it is?
You should be able to open the security suite and disable it.
I'd be curious if that advances our knowledge of the situation, so please post back if you tried it and what happened.

Yes I can get the Internet and Email
Yes there was a lock file and it was 0, and I did what you said.
I can surf, read email, and XN tells me there are no updates.

I've reproduced the problem simply by adding the repositories KrGAce intially listed. The statement about resource must mean the repository. Therefore how do we edit the repository list?

The www.archlug.org repositories seem to be down at the moment. Those can be disabled either in XN or simply by editing /etc/apt/sources.list and set a # char in front of each archlug repository. |

Thanks Arne I was looking at /var/lib/apt/lists from the error message. The repository it was stopping on for me was 4 non-free!! I don't have an /etc/apt/sources.list. All I have is /etc/apt/apt.conf.d which reads:
// Pre-configure all packages with debconf before they are installed.
// If you don't like it, comment it out.
DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs {"/usr/sbin/dpkg-preconfigure --apt || true";};
EDITED I removed the references to the non-free repositories and XN worked again. An apt-get update got me this however:

Reading Package Lists... Done
W: Couldn't stat source package list http://xnv4.xandros.com xandros4.0-xn/non-free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/xnv4.xandros.com_4.0_pkg_dists_xandros4.0-xn_non-free_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
By deselecting Xandros distribution site running XN and then reselecting it XN was back to normal and the error message was gone. I guess I tend to use the shotgun method

That's strange. In XN, whenever you alter Edit|Set Application Sources ..., that file is updated. From a console, execute
ls -l /etc/apt/sources.list
and see what it says. |

You suppose it disappeared from whatever the lockup was. Because I now have a source.list a source.list~ and an apt.conf which were not there until I did whatever I did!!!

Interesting...
I was starting to feel guilty for providing those excelent repositories, but I'm glad it doesn't seem to be that at all.
Anyone contact Xandros for the latest word as to whether or not there's an issue they are aware of?

Sorry...I was thinking out loud with my fingertips!
I was thinking about the issue with the repositories not responding in the above posts...
